I have nothing useful to contribute to the discussion, but I would like to say this conversation feels like Thanksgiving at my in-laws’ house.
My (uneducated) guess is that investing and doing business both tend to involve some amount of specialization, geographically as well as by domain and market, so a general purpose online setting might not be the place to go. Maybe classes at a local college or university or a conversation with a domain expert could be more suitable for your goals.

Yes. Also your math checks out.
- Comment on Why do people indoors at public places always listen to their phone at full volume? 3 weeks ago:
This makes me so irrationally angry. Where I live it’s usually just 12 year old kids on the bus who forgot headphones but still want to listen to the narration of the world’s shittiest tiktok videos rather than reading the captions. It’s fine. I’m fine. Everything is fine.

In mormonism if you don’t do their special ceremonies and have multiple wives, you lose your dick for eternity. I leaned that in Sunday school when I was 12 lol.

My grandma (decades ago) always went the other way, she wrote “Mr. Sarah Smith” for my grandpa’s name. Feminist icon.
- Comment on how do you guys use lemmy? 7 months ago:
Honestly I pretty much just use Lemmy to see the good old fashioned memes. Like everyone is saying, mastodon is the one if you want to follow people.

Poor explanation. No images of non-birds for comparison.

We (I’m a CS researcher) already kind of do, I upload almost everything to arxiv.org and researchgate. Some fields support this more than others, though.

It’s not my job. If it’s vital work, someone can pay me for it. Otherwise it happens on my own terms.

I downloaded all my comments before I deleted the data, and I’m slowly putting all the stuff that was actually important in places where I have a bit more control over how it’s used (i.e., the fediverse, my own websites, etc). Not a perfect solution, but if Reddit wanted to keep it forever they should have treated us better.
